class Instruction(metaclass=abc.ABCMeta):
"""
Base class for an Instruction.
You should make a subclass of this for each instruction you want to lift. These classes will contain the "semantics"
of the instruction, that is, what it _does_, in terms of the VEX IR.
You may want to subclass this for your architecture, and add arch-specific handling for parsing, argument
resolution, etc., and have instructions subclass that instead.
The core parsing functionality is done via ``bin_format``. Each instruction should be a subclass of ``Instruction``
and will be parsed by comparing bits in the provided bitstream to symbols in the ``bin_format`` member of the class.
"Bin formats" are strings of symbols, like those you'd find in an ISA document, such as "0010rrrrddddffmm"
0 or 1 specify hard-coded bits that must match for an instruction to match.
Any letters specify arguments, grouped by letter, which will be parsed and provided as bitstrings in the ``data``
member of the class as a dictionary.
So, in our example, the bits ``0010110101101001``, applied to format string ``0010rrrrddddffmm``
will result in the following in ``self.data``:
{'r': '1101',
'd': '0110',
'f': '10',
'm': '01'}
Implement compute_result to provide the "meat" of what your instruction does.
You can also implement it in your arch-specific subclass of ``Instruction``, to handle things common to all
instructions, and provide instruction implementations elsewhere.
We provide the ``VexValue`` syntax wrapper to make expressing instruction semantics easy.
You first convert the bitstring arguments into ``VexValue``s using the provided convenience methods
(``self.get/put/load/store/etc.``)
This loads the register from the actual registers into a temporary value we can work with.
You can then write it back to a register when you're done.
For example, if you have the register in ``r``, as above, you can make a ``VexValue`` like this:
r = int(self.data['r'], 2) # we get bits corresponding to `r` bits and convert it to an int
r_vv = self.get(r, Type.int_32)
If you then had an instruction to increment ``r``, you could simply:
return r_vv += 1
You could then write it back to the register like this:
self.put(r_vv, r)
Note that most architectures have special flags that get set differently for each instruction, make sure to
implement those as well (override ``set_flags()`` )
Override ``parse()`` to extend parsing.
For example, in MSP430, this allows us to grab extra words from the bitstream
when extra immediate words are present.
All architectures are different enough that there's no magic recipe for how to write a lifter.
See the examples provided by gymrat for ideas of how to use this to build your own lifters quickly and easily.
